Moose Jaw Miller Express 2024 Season Preview

The Moose Jaw Miller Express are coming off back-to-back summers that have seen the team emerge as a force to be reckoned with.

In that time, the Western Canadian Baseball League (WCBL) East Division champs have won 71 regular-season games and lost only 41 contests.

Despite that success, the Miller Express have not been able to claim a WCBL title. The Millers and their fans hope this year will be different and the club will be able to convert regular-season prowess into the ultimate WCBL playoff reward – a nameplate on the Harry Hallis Memorial Trophy.

The Title Trifecta

Regina’s Gavin Wuschke is looking to accomplish something few others have done before him.

The Balfour Collegiate High School product already has a Canadian College Baseball Conference and Western Canadian Baseball League title.

He would love nothing more than to win another championship with the Bellevue University Bruins of the NAIA.

There’s Something About UMary

Baseball is in Carter Beck’s blood.

From shagging foul balls for freezie money at his father’s senior ball games in Carnduff to suiting up for his province, he has enjoyed success at every level.

That includes an excellent start to his collegiate career with the University of Mary Marauders.

Saskatchewan Stalwart

He put the “battle” in North Battleford.

Following a playing career full of twists and turns that showed off his resilience, Andrew Albers has returned to his home province of Saskatchewan and he’s ready for the next chapter of his baseball life in the Western Canadian Baseball League.

No Doubt About Whitt

The 2026 World Baseball Classic can’t come fast enough for Ernie Whitt.

The Baseball Canada manager believes his team is on the cusp of getting into the championship bracket of the tournament if all the stars align – literally.

Whitt will be the guest speaker at the Regina Red Sox annual banquet April 20.

Road to the Record Books

Payton McHarg is enjoying a season to remember with Washburn University.

The Saskatoon product has already clubbed 17 home runs and still has 16 games remaining in the season.

He’s also hoping to be a big piece of the offence for the expansion Saskatoon Berries.

Making A Merk

Regina’s Ethan Merk has enjoyed success at every level of baseball.

From the Moose Jaw Miller Express to the Victoria Golden Tide to now with the Doane University Tigers, he’s taking it all in stride.

World Cup Dreams

Saskatoon’s Amy Johnson is entering her third season with Baseball Canada’s Women’s National Team.

After what feels like a long offseason, she’s hoping to realize a dream by representing Canada at the Women’s Baseball World Cup in Thunder Bay.

Hall of Fame for Heisler

From the mounds of Moose Jaw to representing Canada on baseball’s international scene, Rod Heisler has now found a Hall-of-Fame home in Saint Marys, Ontario.

Heisler – a left-handed pitcher who played in a record 14 international competitions for the men’s national team – is one of a half-dozen inductees recently announced as part of the 2024 class by the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
